Patent CA-2419797-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAPIDUS ALBERT L VOVICH
IPC: B01J37/12
Filed: 2001-08-10
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé permettant d'améliorer à la fois l'activité et la sélectivité au méthane d'un catalyseur d'hydrogénation à métaux particulaires actifs dispersés ("DAM"). Ce catalyseur DAM subit une oxydation à base température en phase de suspension et forme un précurseur catalytique oxydé unique qui est réduit ultérieurement pour former un catalyseur amélioré dans le cadre d'un traitement à haute température par un gaz renfermant de l'hydrogène. Un ou plusieurs oxydes métalliques promoteurs de chrome, de lanthanum et de manganèse sont ajoutés au DAM. Des précurseurs des oxydes métalliques promoteurs peuvent être combinés avec les DAM avant ou pendant la formation de la suspension initiale, pendant la phase d'oxydation ou entre la récupération du précurseur catalytique oxydé et son traitement avec un gaz contenant de l'hydrogène destiné à réactiver le catalyseur. La transformation des précurseurs en oxydes métalliques promoteurs se fait avant le traitement par le gaz renfermant de l'hydrogène sauf si ce traitement lui-même provoque cette transformation.

Title: Method for constructing 3-d geologic models by combining multiple frequency passbands
Inventor: FOREMAN J LINCOLN
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2001-08-28
Abstract: A process for constructing a three-dimensional geologic model of a subsurface earth volume wherein resolution scales of multiple diverse data types (102, 104, 106, 108, 110), including seismic data (106), are accounted for by generating multiple frequency passband models (111) and combining them together to form the complete geologic model (120). Preferably, a model is generated for each of a low-frequency passband, a mid-frequency passband, and a high-frequency passband. When integrating seismic data into the modeling process, the seismic-frequency passband constitutes the mid-frequency passband model. The process further contemplates updating (112) tentative frequency-passband models through optimization of assigned rock property values in each tentative model according to specified geological criteria. Such optimization is carried out by perturbation (118) of the rock property values in a manner wherein the frequency content of each model is maintained.

Inventor: ORLOFF BRIAN L
IPC: F23N5/12
Filed: 2003-06-17
Abstract: A fault-tolerant multi-point flame sense circuit utilizes a single electronic switch to signal the presence or absence of flame to an electronic controller.  Multiple flame sense electrodes may be input to this circuit. By configuring these electrodes in accordance with the present invention, cross-contamination of a single failed flame sense electrode will not affect the other flame sense electrodes' ability to sense a flame at their associated burner. The circuit provides inputs for a number of flame sense electrodes via input channels that are capacitively coupled to the line voltage and resistively coupled to an RC  network that controls the state of an electronic switch. When a flame is present at any one of the electrodes, the resulting unbalance current flow through the RC network turns the switch off to indicate the presence of flame. This operation is not affected by a short on any other electrode in the circuit.

Abstract: A snow plow blade for mounting to a motor vehicle comprises a curved blade, mounting means for securing the blade to the motor vehicle, and a pair of wheel assemblies mounted near opposite ends of the blade. Each wheel assembly comprises a mounting bracket attached to the rear surface of the blade and has a wheel mounting arm pivotably attached between the mounting bracket and the wheel. The wheel is connected to the mounting arm through a swivel mechanism, wherein movement of the plow in a forward direction causes the mounting arm to pivot and lower the blade into contact with the ground. Movement of the plow in a rearward direction causes pivoting of the mounting arm in the opposite direction, resulting in raising of the blade relative to the ground. The invention also provides mounting means for mounting the snow plow blade to the front or rear of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A macrocellular foam is described having improved cell size and Fire-test-response Characteristics, among other features, which is obtained by selecting a particle size less than 1 micron for the flame retardant adjuvant. The inventors found that the amount of fire retardant adjuvant can be increased for a given foam cell size or the foam cell size can be increased for a given amount of fire retardant adjuvant, allowing the production of foams having exceptionally large, well-formed, cells that have excellent Fire-test-response Characteristics. The benefits are especially noteworthy in relation to thermoplastic foams and inorganic flame retardation adjuvants, due to the unexpected reduction in the nucleation effect of the adjuvant. The foams are useful for improving the acoustic performance of products that are required to meet certain Fire-test-response Characteristics. It may be used in automotive and other transportation devices, building and construction, household and garden appliances, power tool and appliance and electrical supply housing, connectors, and aircraft as acoustic systems for sound absorption and insulation.
